What comes next?
Gian Luca Nani will step back from his duties. Luke Dowling will take on a more hands-on role. Behrami will be missed, having built strong relationships with the players and staff. He played for Watford between 2015-17 and was a popular figure at Vicarage Road.
The club's next fixture is away to Boreham Wood on July 11, 2026. This will be a chance for the team to bounce back from their recent losses. Watford are 38 points behind leaders Coventry, so a win is needed to boost their hopes of climbing the table.
